The hump on my nose feels hard . But the rest of my nose is a little squishy. Not much, but I can tell the sides of my nose are still swollen. I'm worried because I don't think the bottom part of my nose (the nostrils) was corrected. If you stare at my nose to the side, you stare at my hanging nostrils. Ive always hated this about my nose. I feel like I still look like big bird. I'm not sure how much difference I'm supposed to expect, or if I should start looking into revision around six months.
